How to use theme.json layout spacing and root padding : WordPress Block Theme Development When developing a #blocktheme in #WordPress, the default layout settings can leave content spaced to the edge of the browser. This issue can be resolved by editing the `theme.json` file. Under the `settings` section, add `layout contentSize` and set it to 800px to centralize content within that width. To manage spacing effectively, particularly when adding background colors, set `useRootPaddingAwareAlignment` to true in the `settings` section. This ensures padding is applied to containing elements rather than the body, allowing better control over wide and full-width alignments. This setup ensures consistent layout, spacing, and padding across different views in the Site Editor.

When developing a #blocktheme in #WordPress, the default layout settings can give you a bit of a headache. Here's how to resolve the issue in the `theme.json` file.
